The Influence of Prices and Price Subsidies on Within-Year Persistence by Students in Proprietary Schools.

St. John, Edward P.; And Others

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v17 n2 p149-65 Sum 1995

Data from the 1987 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study were used to assess the influence of prices and price subsidies on within-year persistence by proprietary school students. African Americans, Hispanics, and students without high school degrees were more likely to persist although tuition charges had a substantial negative influence. (SLD)
